  • Electric wheelchairs and mobility scooters are regulated devices that help people with mobility issues get around.

    Electric wheelchair and mobility scooter requirements

    Electric wheelchair and mobility scooter must be all of the following:

    Designed and manufactured to transport people who have limited mobility because of a permanent or temporary disability that makes it impossible or difficult to walk

    Designed to be self-propelled or self-propelled with the capability to be propelled by human power

    Equipped with an electric motor that can propel the device no faster than 25 km/h on a clean, paved and level surface

    Electric wheelchair and mobility scooter rules

    You must follow the same rules as a pedestrian when on a public road. This means you can use your electric wheelchair or mobility scooter on the sidewalk or in a crosswalk, but not in places where pedestrians are not allowed, such as bike lanes.

    Multi-use paths or trails

    Local governments may set bylaws allowing or restricting electric wheelchair or mobility scooter use on multi-use paths or trails in municipal areas like parks. Check with your local government to find out about the rules in your community.

    Consideration for others

    When you are using your electric wheelchair or mobility scooter on a public road, you must exercise due care and attention, and have reasonable consideration for others using the road.

    On a side note, they are currently debating whether or not to allow Mobility scooters In bike lanes. It looks like the answer will be yes.

    No, they just forgot their place in the fast food chain. They were the cheap go to place for food. It was cheap and quick and you could feed a family for around 20 bucks when you didn’t feel like making dinner.

    No, McDonalds tried to postition themselves as a more adult upscale fast food place, which could have worked is they had bothered to upgrade the actual food they were making. Instead they just increased prices to reflect the new paradigm.

    And we all know how that worked out.
